Additional quotes by Jacques Prévert

cuando se tiene un muerto no se lo suelta
y cuando no se tiene ninguno
se desea uno
La gente es tan mezquina
no es cierto tío Gracián
A quién se lo dices
la gente es envidiosa
nos quitarían nuestro muerto
nuestro propio muerto
llorarían en nuestro lugar

Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.

Y el público siempre pide lo nuevo, la novedad. Pero ¡si la novedad es tan vieja como el mundo!
